Two advanced civilizations—the Paranoids, a race of alien humanoids, and the Solenoids, who are exclusively female—have been locked in a war for centuries. As the Solenoid fleet retreats from a battle to protect an experimentally terraformed world from the Paranoids, one damaged Solenoid vessel, the Star Leaf, becomes separated from the main force.
Only seven women remain alive on the ship: Eluza, the captain; Rabby, the solid and somewhat central character; Lufy, the brash pilot; Catty, the mysterious science officer; Pony, the pink-haired ditzy technician; Patty, a dependable crew member; and Remy, the cute one.
After narrowly escaping the battle, the crew of the Star Leaf decides to press on with their orders and rendezvous at the planet Chaos to defend it. However, it soon becomes clear that their ship itself is part of a Paranoid experiment. In the end, the remaining crew of the Star Leaf must defend the artificial paradise of Chaos against both the Paranoid fleet and the hidden agendas of the Solenoid leadership.
